While the Chinese planning system is vitally important to the rapid
development which has been taking place over the past three
decades, this is the first text to provide a comprehensive
examination and critical evaluation of this system. It sets the
current system in historical context and explains the hierarchy of
government departments responsible for planning and construction,
the different types of plans produced and recent urban planning
innovations which have been put into practice. Illustrated with
boxed empirical case studies, it shows the problems faced by the
planning system in facing the uncertainty in the market economy. In
all, it provides readers with a full understanding of a complex and
powerful system which is very distinct from other planning systems
around the world. As such, it is essential reading for all students
interested in the current development taking place in China and, in
addition, to planning students with a general interest in planning
systems and theory.
